The journey was made with a very comfortable bus and our guide was Tijen Oral, a wonderful woman who helped me a lot with some travel doubts I had following this tour, a truly fantastic person. Pamukkale itself is a surreal landscape that feels like something out of a dream and the guide left us free to enjoy the place as we wished within the allotted time. Despite having several people there, it is possible to also enter in some of the pools, so it's good to bring a bathing suit and be ready to get wet. Also the ruins of the city of Hierapolis are in the same place and are very interesting to visit. I highly recommend this tour, at the point of becoming something almost mandatory for anyone visiting Türkiye.

We were fetched on time at our hotel. Mehareem met us and explained the process. We fetched some people along the way from Kusadasi and more when we got to Pamukkale. The ride was very pleasant. Mehareem gave us insights into the area, the Turkish culture as we went by each little town. Heiropolis was incredible. The fact and history was absolutely mesmerizing. Pamukkale was breathtaking,an absolute must do in one's lifetime. Highlight for me was we got to swim in Cleopatra's pools in the middle of winter.

Pamukkale is definitely one of the must visit places in Turkey & I am glad I booked this tour with GYG. Mehmet our guide was so amazing, he shared a lot of fascinating facts. Hierapolis is definitely a place you want to visit with a guide to understand the rich history of the place. Once you reach Pamukkale, you get to enjoy the naturally occurring thermal springs, you can also swim in the Cleopatra's pool. Everything was up-to-mark, Crowded House Tours was a great provider.

They picked us up on time & were on schedule as informe. our guide Guray was very knowledgeable. He showed us the best spots to take pictures and paced out the trip very nicely with ample time for us to explore /take pics etc. highly recommended !

It's amazing to see what nature can do. They should only update the photos since when you get there it is no longer like the photos from a long time ago, there is a lot of wear. Still worth the tour.
